The adjustable seat depth allows the chair to support a wider range of users without compromising comfort or posture.
Independent Recline System
The Repose Harlem Porter Chair features a manual independent recline mechanism controlled by a lever on the push handle.
The backrest reclines smoothly between 95° and 120°. Once the desired position is reached, the mechanism locks securely into place.
This flexibility allows carers and users to achieve more supportive seating positions throughout the day.
Pressure Management Back Cushions
The Harlem is available with six interchangeable pressure management back cushions.
Each cushion can be repositioned to suit individual postural requirements. Fibre-filled cushions can also be adjusted by adding or removing fibre.
Because the cushions are removable, cleaning and replacement are straightforward.
This adaptable system helps extend the lifespan of the chair while supporting changing clinical needs.
Pressure Management Seat Cushions
The Repose Harlem Porter Chair also includes a choice of four interchangeable seat cushions.
Each cushion provides different pressure redistribution properties, allowing the chair to be tailored to individual comfort and care requirements.
The removable cushion system makes the Harlem suitable for multi-user healthcare environments where flexibility is important.
Seat Angle Adjustment
The adjustable seat angle system provides up to 15 degrees of tilt.
This feature can help reduce the risk of users sliding forward while also improving pressure redistribution and postural control.
For users with involuntary movements, the additional stability can make a significant difference to everyday comfort.
Adjustable Seat Depth
The seat depth adjustment system allows the Repose Harlem Porter Chair to adapt between 17 and 21 inches.
Correct seat depth is extremely important for posture, pressure management and long-term comfort.
If a seat is too deep, users may begin to slouch. If it is too shallow, additional pressure can build beneath the thighs.
Additional seat adjuster pads are available if greater adjustment is required.
Sliding Footplate System
The sliding footplate supports safer transportation while improving comfort during movement.
When the chair is being moved, the user’s feet remain safely positioned on the retractable footplate.
The design also allows uninterrupted hoist access when required.
A central castor improves stability during transportation.
Heavy-Duty Castors & Push Handle
The Repose Harlem Porter Chair includes a heavy-duty push handle with comfortable rubber grips.
Four lockable castors come fitted as standard to provide smooth movement and secure positioning.
Directional castor upgrades are also available for environments requiring greater manoeuvrability.
D-rings are fitted as standard.
Built for Healthcare Environments
The Repose Harlem Porter Chair has been engineered to withstand demanding healthcare environments while remaining comfortable for long periods of use.
Its durable construction and adaptable seating system make it ideal for long-term care settings where posture, positioning and pressure management are essential.
